My first car was a used 2001 Hyundai Elantra GT. I paid 8k for it in 2003 and ran it till i bought my Z in 09.
It was a good car for the first few years and came with a lot of features that other used cars of the same year didnt. I did have to replace the clutch twice on it. The wheels became warped once. Also a ball bearing or something in the rear wheels/axle or something had to be replaces once. The CD player in it died once and had to be replaced and one of the front head lights constantly burned out and had to be replaced.
Most of these things kinda all happened at once too. It ran great up till about 2006 then it seemed every year onward something had to be replaced but i didnt have the money to get a new car till around 09 and i bought the Z.
Strangely enough i had a dream last night that my Z had a steering wheel lock problem so that means its probably gonna happen to me soon
